    You're absolutely right about not pushing your equipment to see how fast it will go. Besides breaking stuff it just wears out sooner

    Alfalfa grass mix should make some nice feed which makes good milk. Hoping you get it in before rain. Great video. Thank you.

      Thank you Stacey. Couldn't quite get it all before the rain started but got a lot. It does make some really nice, high protein feed

    Mike do you ever miss cutting with a self propelled?

    • @mikep7810
      @mikep7810  5 месяцев назад

      Yeah, sometimes, it definitely was more comfortable sitting and facing forward and having the mower in front of you

    Our neighbor who supplies us with small bales for our horses still hasn't got his second cut done. Lotsa poorly timed rain around here.

    • @mikep7810
      @mikep7810  6 лет назад

      Same here. Its been crazy with the rain the past month.

    Nice looking hay, what variety alfalfa is that?

    • @mikep7810
      @mikep7810  6 лет назад +1

      Thank you. Its pioneer alfalfa. My dad is a pioneer seed dealer so we use pioneer for all our corn, soybeans, and alfalfa.

    We tried both the John Deere and heston mowers this year if you want one that runs circles around the John Deere in both grass and alfalfa hay buy a heston it ran circles around the new John Deere and it was alot easier to service and costs of parts were way less .

    • @mikep7810
      @mikep7810  6 лет назад

      I haven't seen the hestons. I really like our hw340

    We are in ND and looking to maybe get into raising hay. What is your opinion of the HW340? How many hours do you have on it? Better cutters for the money?

    • @mikep7810
      @mikep7810  6 лет назад +1

      I love our HW340. We only have around 3000 hours on ours. When the time comes I was thinking about just replacing the head on this one instead of getting a whole new machine. Very nice machine and very easy to use

    Nice video mike how many cuts do you get off these fields

    • @mikep7810
      @mikep7810  6 лет назад

      For alfalfa definitely 3....4 if the weather and regrowth is good. This year it will be 3

    • @mikep7810
      @mikep7810  6 лет назад

      No we don't have a merger. We'll just chop them as they are

  • @JamesOBrien2253
    @JamesOBrien2253 6 лет назад

    How many acres are in that field and how many acres of alfalfa do you have altogether

    • @mikep7810
      @mikep7810  6 лет назад

      These are the 2 alfalfa fields we have. These 2 will come close to filling the silo. Probably around 40-50 acres

  • @levipoling6803
